How the Chiefs bristled their way back after the bizarre and deflating play on which Rice suffered what figures to be a long-term knee injury, a play that soon left them down 10-0, was fresh testimony to what we should now accept as fact … Both for its reassuring upside and unsettling downside.

The Kansas City Chiefs overcame a slow start, with running back Samaje Perine providing the game-winning touchdown in KC’s 17-10 road victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. Sunday’s victory, though, came at a cost.

Patrick Mahomes passed for 245 yards and a touchdown while rediscovering his connection with Travis Kelce, and the Kansas City Chiefs rallied from an early 10-point deficit to beat the Los Angeles Chargers 17-10.
